    Question

    Which technique uses double stranded RNA (dsRNA) as a

    trigger that targets homologous mRNAs for degradation or inhibiting its transcription translation? 
    A Protoplast fusion Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B RNAi Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Recombinant DNA technology Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Chemically induced fusion Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    RNAi use double stranded RNA (dsRNA) as a trigger that targets homologous mRNAs for degradation or inhibiting its transcription translation. It has been emerged as a method of choice for gene targeting in fungi, viruses, bacteria and plants as it allows the study of the function of hundreds of thousands of genes to be tested.
